Nineties boyband Five are reuniting and will be touring the UK later this year.
The group – made up of Abz Love, J Brown, Ritchie Neville, Scott Robinson and Sean Conlon – haven’t performed together for a quarter of a century.
In their heyday, the platinum-selling band topped charts across the globe and sold more than 20 million records worldwide.
Their 12-date UK arena tour, Keep On Movin’ 2025, will begin in Brighton at the end of October, before travelling to Bournemouth, Cardiff, Nottingham, Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds, Birmingham, Newcastle, Aberdeen, Glasgow, and London where they will perform at The O2.
They will perform some of their biggest hits, including If Ya Gettin’ Down, Everybody Get Up and international success When The Lights Go Out.
Fans will also be treated to some of their past number ones, with Keep On Movin’, We Will Rock You, and Let’s Dance also on the playlist.
Speaking ahead of the tour, band member Robinson said: “This has been a long time coming and it really does feel right for all of us now – 25 years on, and we’re so ready for it. Reconnecting as a 5 over the last year has been special and I know I speak for all the boys when I say we can’t wait to do this all over again. Hope you’re ready!!”

Abz Love added: “We really can’t wait to get back on stage together & see the fans, it’s gonna go OFF! Buzzing to have Naughty Boy on tour with us too… 5 bad boys and a naughty boy, that sounds like a lot of fun. Let’s gooooo!”
Formed in 1997, Five is the only UK act to hit the Top 10 with all of their 11 singles, including three number ones. Their first and second albums both went double platinum.
Their tour announcement comes 25 years after the band won their first BRIT Award for best British pop act in 2000.
Tickets go on general sale on 7 March, with a pre-sale from 5 March.
